Kingdom Hearts III Pre-Release Spoiler Discussion Thread

[rmunoz1994]

He just posted his review and..... he did not seem to like it all that much. Enjoyed the game, but doesn't feel it's worth the price tag. I don't know if I'll agree since from what he showed it definitely seems to have as much content and probably more than some other games that have the same price tag.

Edit: Looked back on his twitter and the review doesn't really sync with some of his posts. Pretty certain he's hit full attention grab.

Where did he post? Not seeing anything on his reddit or twitter. From everything I've taken in from this...I'm inclined to agree with him though. Now of course I didn't actually play the game or know the story...but considering how fast he beat it on proud difficulty while doing side things and leaving the game idle...not gonna lie I'm worried. Of course that won't stop me from playing considering how much I'm invested in this series. But so much of my hype is gone which is about the worst thing that could have happened at this point.

His brother, the one who didn't play the game and didn't like the ending, wrote that. Also ironic that he said he doesn't think it's worth $60 when they most likely stole it.

lol you guys follow this dude's every breath, then immediately when he says out loud what we've all been thinking, you turn on him and call him a criminal.

I'm sure all your coping mechanisms will wear off a month or so after the game is out and realize Nomura checked out of this series a long time ago.

Apparently a lot of people are worried about the lack of secret bosses he just beat the game. I doubt he'll find them that quick. I know in previous installments they would show up pre end game, but on my first play throughs I only knew they existed because of game guides. Most of them I never would have found if I wasn't expressly told to go back to certain locations. Even the Mushrooms in 2FM were often in locations that I rarely returned to.

So you think this copy of the game was legitimately bought and the profits went to the creators of the game and the people who worked on it?

That's not quite right. The twitter is run by the guy playing the game, the guy who posted the review is the brother.

One thing is I will say don’t piss these guys off. They seem very erratic and if they feel their followers turn on them they might just spoil the game as spite because they think people are being ungrateful.

 

[Crimson Crusader]

Dude just posted a review basically saying the game is rushed trash and three hours ago he said it’s game of the year. This guy makes me fume.

I've enjoyed movies and games that people rate 1/100. I've hated them when they were rated 100 and 5 stars. This is ONE PERSON'S OPINION!! Don't let however this guy(s) opinion bother you. Play the game and rate it yourself.
If you like it, great. If you hate it, fine.

I never said that, I'm just saying that you're in denial mode (we all are) because it turns out it's been 10 years of build up for nothing

If I didn't remember that this was 2 different people I would have called this guy bipolar. On Twitter he says its GOTY worth, on Reddit his brother says its straight trash. This is by far the worst leak for anything I have ever seen.

I think you are missing the part where they said the exact opposite on twitter. These guys are clearly looking for attention and thats about it

The guy playing is the casual who isn't really much of a KH fan. The guy who gave it a bad review is the one I'm more inclined to trust.

So let me get this straight I was straight up called a bunch of names and criticized literally daily and the total gameplay time for this person was over 35 hours and he himself said that it could take 30 hrs.Interesting, what happened to those massive worlds I was being accused of thinking negatively and not realizing the grand scope of it all? Hmm and now his full review is that the game is a glass half full experience. The hell you say? It's like SE didn't learn from FF XV. Although I believe that this is cause the endgame and Secret ending are not in the game yet as that will be a day one patch. But still I was hoping for at least a 40-50 hr experience especially cause I was being told by many people that the massive worlds would make the game at least that long. But I was being negative and a idiot and delusional. Interesting how that all turned out.Bottom line the amount of worlds being what it is, is severely disappointing. And they're not so grand going from this persons review. I only hope that in the future of the series they go up, cause only 7 playable Disney Worlds and 1 Mini Game World and only 4 Original Worlds is NOT what I and it seems like many others expected from KH3. A game that was 5 years in development, has the least amount of worlds in the series and isn't as gigantic as some were trying to suggest it was. To end on a positive note cause some don't think I don't have a single iota of positivity, I will still love and cherish this game. And if the ending is as divisive as Nomura claims it is I can only imagine that the wait between this title and KH4 won't be as long as the wait was for this game. I'd expect Nomura will just be a supervisor and hand the reigns over to someone else and with that I expect we'll get a KH main title every 2-3 years from now on. I also imagine that the secret movie and the actual endgame ending that will be added on launch day will get people excited for the next arc of Kingdom Hearts.

 

[Squood!]

So, the leaker himself finds this game to be his GOTY and was only upset about something from X that upset him coming in

Meanwhile his brother was foaming at the mouth mad to the point where leakerboi has to tell him to calm down[in a tone of voice that makes it sound like he thinks his bro is overreacting] and thinks it's rushed without giving actual criticism and just going on about milk.

Woof.

The guy playing is the casual who isn't really much of a KH fan. The guy who gave it a bad review is the one I'm more inclined to trust.

Pretty sure the leaker is a KH fan. He talked about how the game was gonna make him cry, he's got TAV's keyblades up on his wall, he loves Aqua, etc.

Meanwhile I think his brother mentioned how leakerboi was more into the game than him.

And the twitter guy says its GOTY without any actual reasoning. I'll defer to reddit dude since hes actually familiar with the series.

 

[Darvandark]

Not to mention in other posts on their reddit the brother points out that he may have gotten the leaker into the game but the player is now way more into it than the brother. That's why he's the one playing. That's it. These are 2 different opinions and they're apparently going to post again when the ending has settled a little more and they can think a little more cool headed.

No you were criticized daily for posting non stop about how there had to be two more Disney worlds. And you were wrong, but you won’t address that part.

 

[sorawild]

Its the other way around actually. The guy playing knows about KH and the other one doesnt.

 

[Crimson Crusader]

Now that these two clowns have torn the KH community apart, I think it's time they leave the internet. They got their 15 minutes of Fame, now walk away while we all wait to experience what they just did in 1 month.

 

[Chaser]

I never said that, I'm just saying that you're in denial mode (we all are) because it turns out it's been 10 years of build up for nothing

So what's the issue with me finding the irony in them saying it isn't worth $60 when all signs point to them having not spent a single cent on this game?

I don't care for their opinions, never actually have. People have praised what they've been doing but they're not good people for what they've done.

They had their own expectations. I can't speak for how they personally built it all up so I can only speak for mine and I'm not in denial about anything. The ending could suck for everyone! It's a possibility. It's always been a possibility. It's one that I've prepared for in the 5.5 years of build up that there's been. But I'm not going to drop everything and beg people to apologise based on the whim of two individuals. I'm going to keep my own expectations and go into the game with those, and I'll judge that package based on how it works for me.

 

[UltimaXOmega]

This game can't be as bad as FFXV. I played KHIII at PAX and the gameplay is 9.5/10. FFXV's gameplay was atrocious.

 

[Xblade13]

Personally for me, I would've been absolutely fine with the game having 6 worlds and only 20 hours of gameplay. I haven't been hyping up KH3 for 10 years as if it was going to be the end all best game in the series, but I did hype it up because it is exactly all that I ever wanted: just another KH game. That's it. In fact I kinda wish KH2 didn't have the number 2 in the title, just so that people wouldve complained less about the whole thing in the long run.

I mean honestly, I've treated each and every KH game as just "the next step" instead of "side games". I enjoy almost all of them at least to a nuetral appreciation, all the characters are like friends to me (yes even Xion). KH3 was always just going to be the next one. Those expecting the Return of the King from it were way too enamored with the number 3 being super shiny.

All that said, the game could be 20 hours long and I'd still love it. I don't listen to reviews on anything, it's always MY judgement that counts. Me and my roommate argue on a lot of games and agree on some. Movies too. Taste is subjective.

Reminder that you can beat KH1 in less than 15 hours quite easily. That trophy for 1.5 was hilariously easy and made me realize how much of the game was just extra.
